I was thinking about writing a brief comment concerning the killings at Virginia Tech, something along the lines of a recommendation that Americans be better trained in firearms safety and handling (i.e., real "gun control") and then allowed to carry weapons on their persons in nearly all places. After all, many of the places where armed criminal actions take place are currently off-limits to law-abiding gun carriers (e.g., schools and banks).

However, I got sidetracked when a link at Pro-Life Blogs led me from My Choice, His Life to a place called abortionclinicdays, wherein a self-proclaimed "abortion provider" quoted a rambling and senseless diatribe pinning a large amount of blame for current American violence upon "the anti abortion movement."

If this misguided killer of unborn babies truly wants to know how to stop the killings, perhaps s/he should examine all the blood upon the hands of American abortionists and then stare into the mirror and ask the person in the glass if maybe, just maybe the callousness of abortion rights people such as him/her hasn't desensitized the public against other hateful acts of violence beyond the slaughter of the unborn.

NB: I normally hate to link to places I find so reprehensible but thought that in this case, readers needed to view the entire text for themselves.
